Does anyone know when/why magat nation abandoned their Qpidity?? Everything was "Q" this and "Q" that, and now no one

from the magat sphere even mentions him. I know it’s not that they got smarter, because given that they still follow Orange Foolius, that’s clearly not the case. I’m wondering if some of you with family/friends inroads into that psychopathy know.

"The decline of QAnon can be attributed to a series of factors, including failed prophecies regarding Mr. Trump’s reelection, social media companies cracking down on QAnon accounts, and the temporary suppression of Parler— a key communication platform for the group—following the 2021 Capitol storming. Consequently, the movement saw a loss of followers, both among those less adept in technology and others who shifted to alternative encrypted platforms like Telegram and Gab. Telegram gained 25 million subscribers within 72 hours post-crackdown, while Gab experienced a staggering 753% increase in traffic. Presently, platforms such as Gab, Telegram, and 4chan still harbor the most radicalized adherents, albeit with significantly reduced traffic compared to the past."

"QAnon movement’s efforts to rebuild itself with the presidential elections exactly a year from now have thus far proven largely unsuccessful. The movement seems to have lost most online traction, is still leaderless, and suffered real-world consequences in the shape of several arrests in the past years. But certain present and future catalysts serve as opportunities for followers of ‘Q’ to try and gain momentum. Any decision going against Trump’s favor regarding the ongoing indictment cases will most likely be reused by online adherents to further sustain their conspiracy theory. So will comments from Trump in the weeks leading to the election. Threatening rhetoric towards liberal figures, minorities, and those opposed to Trump will likely intensify."

If they claim that nonsense is still going on, they'd kind of be admitting that their dear leader is too powerless and incompetent to stop it..... or even worse, that he's also part of the conspiracy.

Aside from that, the the over-arching themes have a life of their own without the specific madness of Q. Still lots of talk of Deep State, One World Order, etc.
